Starbucks versus Dunkin' Donuts: a debate that has long plagued coffee drinkers everywhere. Dunkin' Donuts is a predominantly East Coast chain, first started in Massachusetts, with over 11,300 restaurants worldwide. Near and dear to my heart, Dunkin' has been serving the best coffee, doughnuts, and breakfast sandwiches around since 1950.

Starbucks, on the other hand, is DD's artsy, angsty cousin. Originating in Seattle, the first Starbucks was opened in 1971. Known for their overpriced, overcomplicated coffee drinks, there are over 22,500 stores worldwide guaranteed to make you miss the comfort of your neighborhood Dunkin' Donuts.

Here to outline the critical differences are your favorite Dunder Mifflin employees.

Come Monday morning, you're forced with a tough decision: Starbucks or Dunkin'?

When all other options are exhausted and caffeine headaches force you into your neighborhood Starbucks.


DD breakfast means paying $9 for an XL coffee and 50 munchkins.

Starbucks breakfast means paying $9 for subpar coffee and a reheated sandwich that will be gone in two bites.

Ordering your DD usual, only to be told they don't make a 32-fluid-ounce iced coffee at Starbucks.

Waiting for your ridiculously overpriced coffee.

Watching a hipster teenage barista spell your name horrendously wrong on a cup.

A trip to Starbucks always ends with grabbing extra napkins ...

Coming home for winter break only to find the local Dunkin' Donuts still has your order memorized.

Checking your bank account after reloading your Dunkin' rewards app.

And worst of all, going to a college with no Dunkin' Donuts within a 20-mile radius.

Friends don't let friends drink Starbucks, plain and simple.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
